Correct use

~

The appliance gets hot when in use

and remains hot for quite a while after
being switched off. Do not touch it
whilst it could still be hot.

~

When using a rangehood over the

cooktop, ensure that the burner is
always covered with a pan when in use.
Otherwise flames could be drawn up by
the suction of the rangehood, parts of
which could then be damaged or even
set on fire.

~

Do not leave the cooktop

unattended whilst it is being used.
Boiling fat or oil could ignite and cause
a fire.

~

If oil or fat does catch fire, do not

attempt to put out the flames with water.
Use a suitable fire blanket, saucepan
lid, damp towel or similar to smother the
flames.

~

Do not use the cooktop to heat up

the room. Due to the high temperatures
radiated, objects near the appliance
could catch fire. The life of the
appliance could also be reduced.

~

For added protection, it is advisable

to use heat-resistant pot holders or
gloves when using the appliance.
Ensure that they do not come into
contact with the flames. Do not use
large cloths, tea towels or similar as the
ends could touch the flames and catch
fire.
Take care not to let these items get
damp or wet as this causes heat to
transfer through the material more
quickly with the risk of scalding or
burning yourself.

~

Do not flambé under a rangehood.

The flames could set the rangehood on
fire.

~

Do not use the appliance as a

resting place for anything else. The
article could melt or catch fire if
residual heat is still present or if the
appliance is switched on by mistake.

~

Do not cover the appliance, e.g.

with a cloth, kitchen foil, etc. If the
cooktop is switched on inadvertently or
there is residual heat present, there is
the danger of the items catching fire.

~

Do not use plastic or aluminium foil

containers. These melt at high
temperatures, and could catch fire.

~

Do not heat up unopened tins of

food on the cooktop as pressure will
build up in the tin, causing it to
explode. This could result in injury and
scalding or damage.

~

Make sure all the components of the

gas burners have been correctly
assembled before switching on.
